Doc/Jeremiah — I’ll throw out an interesting concept. What if users were empowered to accept whatever ads they were interested in (assuming they were required to see ads like you are today on FB). To be honest, I’d be much more inclined to look at ads presented to me on FB if they were more relevant. I mean 18 old attractive women are nice and all but I’m married and I probably am not buying what they’re selling.

On a sidenote Doc, I’d love to schedule that podcast we talked about at the Rattlesnake the othernight (the EMC/Jeremiah blogger dinner). You can ping me on FB or my blog:

I’m seeking way for advertisers, marketers, AND users to be able to make this happen and work together. Contextual and relevant marketing, but with the control held by users.

The interesting thing is that most users don’t care or know, and if they do, they won’t do anything about it. Movements happen at the consumer level, and most consumers won’t think bigger.

Although I’m traveling to Seattle to keynote a Facebook conference that week (ironic huh?) I’ll try to at least attend on Monday for the Internet Identity Workshop.
